Hi Everyone,
We hope you enjoyed our video! Which small camper you can tow with an SUV did you like best? Do you prefer a travel trailer, motorhome or 5th wheel? Please say hello by leaving a comment below and sharing your opinion about these RV floor plans.
Overpriced but I like the first one the most. Thanks for the video.
You are not wrong! The Forest River Geo Pro G19FD is a great floor for a camper this size and weight. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
My favorite is the geo pro. But I would remove the dinette. With the couch, it just isn’t needed. You can just get a couple tv trays.
That's a great modification that would create so much space! Thanks for sharing. And thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
The Geo 19 impressed me. Liked that Murphy bed.
We think Murphy beds are a great solution to adding living space in a small camper. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
I don’t know who buys these things. They seem super overpriced, and I know msrp and sale price is different but still. 30k for a tiny trailer seems excessive. You can get a basic stick and tin, 20ft camper for like 14-16k And they still are pretty light weight. The idea you NEED an aluminum skeleton trailer is really kind of a myth.
Though I agree with about the over priced MSRP on RVs these days you won't find a 20' travel trailer with an MSRP of $14-16K. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
True dat. Prices are wack atm. And hefty weight for most suv's.
We love our GeoPro!
@@bevgunson1486 thank you for sharing your experience. That's so important to others!
@@bevgunson1486❤❤❤ GroPro 15TB ❤❤❤
Great reviews, but wow, these seem very expensive for what you’re getting.
Thank you! Yes, we noticed the smaller the RV the bigger than MSRP sometimes. Take the Class B minivan...costs equal a Class A motorhome. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Depending on time a year and depending on the brand you can almost automatically subtract 25% from the MSRP and yes they are still significantly overpriced for what you're getting
Or you can buy a used RV.
I just got the Geo Pro 19FD - and I'm loving it!!! Been boondocking it in Port Aransas, TX and have no issues. Easy to tow.
Glad you are loving it! Thanks for sharing your experience with it!
Mike
You really need to check out The Grand Design aim series. Now those are some nice small travel trailers
We have. We toured the GD AIM 15RB in this video czcams.com/video/eAlvMHRuoDQ/video.html the GD AIM 15BH in this video czcams.com/video/iboLl8b1Ej8/video.html and the GD 16ML in this video czcams.com/video/JmYylg0vaLY/video.html Grand Design has done a great job with their floor plans. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Sorry I'm late ! That Forest River is hands down the best out of the three ! I'm finally getting to like the Murphy bed and the Geo is spot on !! Love that dinnett on the camp side as well. BRAVO !! I'm really surprised/disappointed at the Jayco & Winnebago, they need to go back to the drawing board ! Too much money for very little ! Thanks y'all & safe travels !!
Completely agree! The FR managed to provide it all efficiently and comfortably. I wanted to like the Winnebago more but...I liked the concept but not the execution. And yes, we need to see MSRPs going down. Thanks Darryl!
This video is a little deceptive, your average SUV has a towing capacity of 3500-5000lbs. Some of the campers you showed were close to 4500lbs+ loaded weight, thats not safe to tow over 80% of your max towing capacity. An SUV with 3500-5000lbs towing capacity should be looking at a teardrop with the GVW around 3000lbs MAX, safety is PARAMOUNT!!!!
There are some SUVs that have a lower tow capacity just like there are SUVs that can tow up to 10,000lbs. It is important for everyone to know the tow capacity of their own vehicle before buying a travel trailer. We also agree with the 80% rule to be safe. The TTs in this review had a GVWR that range between 4,200-4,995lbs, that reaches a wide variety of SUV owners. ((and UVW of 3,156-3,895lbs)). Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
My favorite is the first one. It was the cheapest out of the three, and had the best layout of a kitchen and bathroom. Thank you for sharing
Agree! Love the spacious bathroom and extra living space with the Murphy bed. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Thank you. We’ve watched your reviews for a longtime. We love our Geo Pro, with a spacious bathroom, its large cupboard and shower, the MB is easy up/down. Forest River makes a decent quality rig. We researched before making this choice as we wanted to pull it with our new Honda Ridgeline truck that’s setup for towing. The couch is comfortable. We travel with a small folding table to use in any spot! We often leave the dinette as a lounge w/large pillows and as second workspace!
We have a Clam tent for outdoor living space on longer trips. We downsized from 20 years of a ‘C’ RV. As seniors, this has been fine!
@@bevgunson1486 thank you so much for your support and for sharing your travel experience with your Geo Pro! So happy that you are loving it after downsizing. Your information can be super helpful to others. Thanks again!💛💚
Thank you for all that you share ...
You are welcome. And thank you for your support. We appreciate it!💚💛
Great job as always
Thank you so much! We appreciate your support!
I always enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much! We appreciate your support!💚💛
Sorry... Back from two Sundays of vacation! Because I missed two weeks let's do "Every Susan sighting"! @7:22 TV 9:13 Medicine Cabinet (3 times) 11:16 Refrigerator 11:43 Microwave 18:18 Vanity Mirror 20:20 Microwave.
Question, was Mike in the military? Great video!
Hope you had a great vacation! Love the "Susan sightings"! You know we had a viewer request a drinking game every time Mike uses his tape measure...maybe we can add "Susan sightings" too! 🤣 Mike was not in the military. His previous career was in the home building industry. Thank you for your support Joseph!
The Winnebago Hike has a design that looks like it was just thrown together with very little thought put into it and thats unfortunate!!
True, the Winnebago Hike is a very small camper. I like the concept but the execution is lacking. It's box with a bathroom and "kitchen", but to some people this would fit their lifestyle perfectly and it might be what they can tow. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Wouldn't pay 15k for it let alone 47k. Insane
I want to see affordable campers. I expect these small ones to be under $25,000. He shows quality over quantity, I want quantity over quality!
We tour campers that we see at RV Shows and dealerships. We don't pick and choose based on price. Most of time we have no idea what the MSRP at the time of shooting. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Love the bathroom on the geo pro but not a fan of the bed. Price is high on all 3 my opinion. Geo pro i think is the best.👍👍
I agree with you about the Geo Pro. For the size and weight it ticks off all the boxes...of the 3. MSRP still needs to drop. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
I'd go with the GeoPro. I like having a real dinette table and the shower seems decent (for a short person)!
Agree about the Geo Pro. Has everything you need and the bathroom didn't sacrifice too much. I do feel sorry for taller folks finding comfortable TT. Thanks Britt!
You could do a video on the hike models alone, they have a great variety of layouts. Honestly the mb is one of my last favorite versions. They are neat little campers, I'm so impressed how they manage to fit everything you need into such a small footprint.
I agree, they do manage to fit everything you need in such a small space. It would be kinda fun to do a total Hike video. Would take a bit of research. Thanks for the suggestion. And thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!

Thank you so much! We appreciate your support!💛💚
I liked the first trailer the best. Thinking my husband and I could make that floor plan work with the Murphy bed down permanently 🤷🏻♀️ watcha think? Thank you for another great upload.
You're welcome! Love the living space and large bathroom in the FR Geo Pro G19FD! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Rockwood G20FBS has a dedicated bed but, no dinette.
@@SaltyDog69 Love the G20FBS. We have that in an upcoming video of TT under 5,000lbs GVWR. Thanks SaltyDog69!
I have a Subaru Outback. I've been looking at a Coachman Clipper 9.0. Unfortunately I'm 6'3", and the bed is 74 " long. I may be able to make it work if I sleep diagonally!
Not a whole lot of tow capacity in a Subaru Outback. Check out the Forest River Rockwood 1940LTD in this video (1st camper) czcams.com/video/aJoQIR4gcSM/video.html It has a bed length of 80" with a GVWR of under 2,500 lbs. Or the Aliner (last in video) with a bed length of 77" and has a bathroom under 2,400lbs GVWR czcams.com/video/UA0D4q86_rU/video.html A good nights sleep is important! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
I can't believe that Winnebago is so expensive and it isn't at all attractive. The other two looked a lot better and had more room. Thanks for your video.
I like the concept but not the execution. Needs a little modifying. It's box with a bathroom and "kitchen", but to some people this would fit their lifestyle perfectly and it might be what they can tow. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Look at THIS guy w the summer face tan before mid April ! Go Mike, looking good brother.
Did I catch a Chris Farley movie quote there dude ?? 😂 I did right ?
Great clips guys, thanks for the drop 🎩
I gotta say those snow birds know what they're doing. "Wintering" in Florida is pretty nice. Chris Farley is the best! (RIP). The airplane bathroom scene in Tommy Boy makes me laugh every time! That's how I feel in an RV bathroom!! Thanks for your support!
@RVBlogger I agree on Farley, and it was a recent re watch for me myself. I definitely caught that- Not so much here, or here, but definitely right here-while reviewing that shower built for umpa lumpas !
Love those Easter eggs dropped in the clips, which makes it a little more fun.
On a serious note. Really enjoyed the expedited storage show off, had the spaces opened and camera panned thru the shot as Mike narrated instead of going and opening each one to redundancy
Fun clip ! Keep up the good work team 🎩❤️
@@petepaul615 thank you! We try to keep the video flow smooth and helpful with a bit of humor too.
The Winnebago hike design needs some work. Why a massive fold out table in such a small place? Instead just have a screw in a small screw in table. The murphy bed seems big for the space too. Why not have a "hide a bed" couch? If im looking at spending $47k for a small TT, theres alot better built smaller rv brands to choose from for that price.
You're not wrong! I thought the concept was great but the execution was off. They need to rethink the floor plan, IMO. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
I liked the Geo Murphy bed! A bed you can get off of on each side, NICE. Not so thrilled with the short shower curtain, but you may be able to screw something in to the top of that rail to add a very short shower curtain... I do like the space for the toilet. Pretty good storage space too.
Loved all the storage in the Jayco. If we could combine the Geo & Jayco ((Geojay)). ;o)
I am not sure, but it looked like there was another level of counter pull out on the Winnebago (Looked like there was a handle on the left to pull out toward the sink. Did not like the set up at all though.
Love the GeoJay idea🤣! There wasn't a pull out counter by the sink but there is one between the micro and fridge. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Actually, I was talking about the counter pull out you pulled out between the fridge and microwave (20:26 time) & it looks extra thick plus separated from bottom pull out, so the top may slide to the left closer to the sink. That is what I would do if I designed it.
@@lynw758 I understand now. Thank you for clarifying.
Does the Murphy make the tail of the GeoPro heavy? Or is it just me? Does the weight balance out with the kitchen? Great info/video and narration as always! Thank you and God bless! 🙏🇺🇸
We didn't take the weight of the components of the trailer into account when conducting our review. But the manufacturer does. They always have to consider the impact of weight on each trailer.
Great question and thanks for watching!
Nice campers.
Not too bad for under 5,000 lbs. They are great options for those needing a light weight camper. Thanks Kim!
I would like to see a Class C RV with the slide outs closed. In order to see how much space there is should you have to park and walk back to the bathroom. Is there room to get by when the slide outs are closed? I'd like to know please.
We understand the importance in knowing this information. Unfortunately we shoot our tour video at RV dealerships and RV shows and are unable to bring the slides in. Occasionally we will measure the slide to give the viewer some kind of idea if it is possible to access bathroom and kitchen area when in the closed position. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Nice reviews and thank you for the all the info. I have a kz escape 196 and no longer need the bunk beds and would consider something like the first reviewed. I will not buy any of these for these prices. And what’s the advantage to a 12v fridge? I like my electric/propane fridge.
Glad you like the reviews! Thanks!
We own a 12v in our Class A and a propane in our Class C RV.
There are a couple of big advantages of a 12v fridge.
12v fridges get cold faster and they don't have to be as level as the absorption style propane fridge. And if you have solar and a battery they can run for a long time on renewable energy. Some people say that 12v fridges are safer because they don't catch on fire like a propane type could. (Not sure I buy this advantage)
We mainly point them out because manufacturers are getting away from the propane style fridges and moving to 12v.
Thanks for watching!
Huh!! Today I learned an SUV can tow a trailer, that's really interesting 😅 I'm not sure about any of these in terms of what my personal fav of the 3 would be. Seems like there's some solid pros and cons between them all. But for me I prefer to have a bed where 1) there's enough space on either side to get in and out fairly smoothly, and 2) no window at the headrest, as I'd prefer to have a smooth backsurface to lounge against to either read or watch tv.
Those are all great points. A north/south or walk around bed is very convenient, but not too common in these smaller campers. We aren't a big fan of the window behind the bed either. Without the right window treatments the morning sun can be a killer. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
That last one is really dark, tight and kinda meh for the price. There is just literally no wear to go inside!
True, the Winnebago Hike is a very small camper. It's box with a bathroom and "kitchen", but to some people this would fit their lifestyle perfectly and it might be what they can tow. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
The UVW and GVWR of these towable travel trailers makes me wonder which SUVs can realistically tow them? I have a used 2019 Premium trim level Chevy Equinox and its tow capacity is only 3,300lbs. Unless you’re willing to spend $40,000 to $60,000 on an SUV that Might (3,500 lb towing max towing capacity is what even the most high end SUV can tow)be able to tow any travel trailer, which is ridiculous, then wouldn’t you be better off with a pickup truck? You know travel trailer buyers are going to load all their camping stuff in the travel trailer bringing the weight of the travel trailer close to the GVWR. Add in the hitch weight, and any SUVs engines, transmissions, and suspensions are going to fail. Right or wrong? These travel trailers are for F-150 pickups and other bigger travel trailers to tow. If you want to tow a travel trailer to haul with an SUV buy a pop up travel trailer or something as small as a Casita travel trailer where you end up carrying most of your camping stuff in your SUV because of space constraints;otherwise buy the best and most comprehensive vehicle repair warranty on the market because your SUV will need it.
I couldn’t agree more, read my comment
One of the most important things to know when towing anything is the tow capacity of your vehicle. While not every SUV on the market can tow 3,400-5,000lbs, like the campers in this video, there is a wide variety out there that can. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
The Hike needs much to be desired
The Winnebago Hike is a very compact travel trailer. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
The Winnebago Hike is definitely a compact travel trailer. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
It costs way to much for a trailer that size I’ll give you $16k for it . Winnebago is out of their minds with that price.
And a wooden frame yet.
I want to see the first trailer (Forest river geo pro g19fd) in person. How would I find one nearby to check it out? I tried one RV place and they said they didn't carry it. I can search and search, but is there a faster way?
You may need to check the manufacturer website for local dealerships in the area. forestriverinc.com/rvs/rockwood-geo-pro/G19FD/8020 (inside blue bar is a search feature). Or check rvtrader.com, they list dealerships as well as private party sellers. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
I like this one best. Plus least expensive. Still prices for these seem extreme.
Yes, MSRP is still a bit high and might take a while to lower but sales prices are much better than before. Much more supply than demand. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
What do you think of an a-frame model? I have an Subaru Outback.
Like the Aliner? They are a pretty cool type of camper. We have reviewed a few of those. We have the Aliner Classic in the video czcams.com/video/ZVQ-wiwSayE/video.html and an Aliner that doesn't need to be assembled in this video czcams.com/video/UA0D4q86_rU/video.html They are both under 3,000 lbs GVWR which is great for your Outback. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Meh…… Nucamp’s Barefoot is a full fiberglass molded frame and is much lighter, versatile and cuter. 😊
PS, I’m not knocking your video, editing etc (love you guys!❤), it’s just those three didn’t thrill me. 😁
That's fair. The Barefoot is adorable. Thank you for your support! We appreciate it. 💚💛
Love the Barefoot, and may actually own one some day when there are more credible reviews and real-life feedback. However, it's also double the price of the EPro/GeoPro so that's another consideration for many. Also, my husband can't stand in the bathroom of the Barefoot...not even close.
@@cbaker9667 The Barefoot camper is super cute but not real user friendly for someone 6', that's for sure🤣.
Your need to check out the Cortes 17 and 18.
We actually did a review on the Cortes 17 czcams.com/video/5ADCUVsZrT8/video.html It's a great little fiberglass camper. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
@@RVBlogger The new 18 is the same as the 16 or 17 only 1000 lbs lighter.
I can't wait to see it! Less weight and less cost starting at $29K!
I just prefer a small trailer because of the places (primitive campsites) that I can tow and park mine with a 3/4 ton diesel pickup truck.
Very understandable. Keeping it small allows you much more freedom to explore! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Hey where would I find a book for a 2019 E Pro or the fuse box
Would this website help forestriverinc.com/rvs/owners I believe you can find the manual there that might have fuse box information. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
I am very interested in the Forest Pro G19FD. I want to check it out in person and I wrote to the company with no response. I inquired about it from a couple of dealers, and they didn't carry it. Could you give me some advice on how to better find this model. By the way, excellent and honest review of this trailer. I subscribed and liked you. I live in southern California, if that helps. Thanks.
I would call Forest River Customer Service and ask which dealers carry this unit in your area. Here's the number: 1 (866) 837-6044
We also go to many RV Shows and we find a wider variety of units at the shows. I hope this info helps. Please let us know how you make out.
I also visited their dealer locator page and entered the zip code for Los Angeles: forestriverinc.com/rvs/dealer-locator/dealers
Thanks for watching!

I'm looking for a trailer with a wet bath yet the overall dimensions of a dry bath. In other words, a large wet bath with generous elbow and head room. I do not understand the thinking of most designers and manufacturers; their bathrooms are too-o-o small. I'm coming to the point to buy a used trailer with dry bath and remodel it to become a wet bath, giving any floor space to shower pan area.
Agree! Many bathrooms in an RV are too small, including wet baths. The biggest wet bath we have seen so far is in the inTech OVR Expedition in this video czcams.com/video/V_TsbX1ilcE/video.html A remodel of a used RV is probably the best way to go. You can be the depreciation and make it how you like. We'll keep a lookout for you. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
I was thinking that the bathroom of the 2nd trailer would be much better as a wet bath, rather than having that tiny shower.
@@dhVideoSpecialist agree! Got to be comfortable!
The price on that last one is absolutely insane.
We list the MSRP which you should never ever pay. Always negotiate - its a buyers market right now!
Can you do a video using smaller SUVs that can only tow up 1500 lbs
Hi George, Do you want us to review the SUVs or the campers that weigh less than 1500 lbs? If you are looking for a camper under 2000 lbs here is a link to an article we wrote on TravelTrailerPro.com. Hope it helps! Mike
traveltrailerpro.com/10-best-travel-trailers-under-2000-lbs-for-2024/
My SUV has a towing capacity of 5,000 and I’m looking for a small, affordable trailer. But, my boyfriend is 6’2”, so we need a bed and shower he can fit in. I like the GEO, and especially the pull down bed, but he couldn’t fit in the bed or shower.
That is a tough one! Unfortunately most smaller campers also come with smaller beds, showers and ceiling height. Check out the 3 campers in this video czcams.com/video/JmYylg0vaLY/video.html They all have 80' Queen beds and a shower height that might be comfortable. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Your tow capacity is low IMO, but also check out their 15TB. My hubby is over 6' and he's comfortable in the twin beds. Those beds also convert to one large king.
@@cbaker9667 We actually reviewed the Forest River Rockwood G15TB in this video czcams.com/video/V_TsbX1ilcE/video.html It's a great floor plan!
Drinking game. Drink when he measures the beds!
Or the elbow room on the commode 🤗
Or the shower! 🚿 I think I like this game 🤣 Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
@ragantalleur5038 I'll drink to that! 🤣🍻
@@RVBlogger Love watching your videos!❤❤ Is there anything I can tow with my CRV? Only tows 1500 lb, and I was looking at a Scamp. Appreciate what you do!!
@@ragantalleur5038 I'm afraid you won't find much you can tow with your CRV. The Scamp (without a bathroom) has a weight of 1,500 but I have a feeling that is UVW (unloaded vehicle weight). Meaning without anything in the camper. Once you begin adding food, clothing, camping gear like chairs, grill and sewer gear now you are talking GVWR or gross vehicle weight rating. I think you would exceed your tow capacity. Many in the industry also agree that you should never tow more than 80% of your vehicle's tow capacity. So if your CRV can tow 1,500lbs you should safely tow only 1,200lbs. You could check out Sylvan Sport Go. Unfortunately there is no kitchen or bathroom, which is why it is so light. www.sylvansport.com/go-camping-trailer/ Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
Do not think most SUVs could tow any of those trailers safely.
Of those trailers reviewed, I consider the first one, the Geo Pro, the best designed. Like the non-bendy Murphy bed and the nice kitchen for the small length.
But Do Not care for that shower: would rather have a well-made wet bath over that 'dry bath' that doesn't work.
( guessing that low shower curtain won't last long in that tract at all. The shower curtains that retract into the wall seem better engineered and more usable). A few more outlets would be nice too
I tow a Rockwood 2109S with my suv, it’s a Nissan Armada with a tow rating of 8,500 lbs.
We do believe quite a few SUVs have the tow capacity to safely tow these campers. But it is the most important thing to know - the tow capacity of your vehicle. Agree about the bathroom set up. A small dry bath just doesn't work, otherwise it's a waste of space. I'd be curious to see how tract shower curtains handle after years of use and travel. Great question! Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
First comment! Hi Mike :D
Hello!
❤❤❤😊😊😊
Thanks Renee!
Can they fit 2 healthy 500 lbs
Are you asking if they can fit 2-500lb people in these campers? Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Overloading the vehicle can lead to performance and suspension issues
Those tiny corner showers seem useless for most average size males. The curtain bottom always pops out of the shower confines, leaking water all over the floor. With that said, you should take a survey. Would you rather have a useless separate shower, or take the same bathroom footprint and have a very large wethead type shower? If you think about it, the tiny shower gets the floor wet anyway, so why should manufacturers restrict the consumer? They should offer a choice at least. There are so many floor plans that are perfect for my needs until I see the shower and it's a deal killer.
That's a great idea! Option #1 Dry bath with smaller, cramped features or Option #2 Wet bath with more room. I personally don't like a wet bath, but I hate a tiny useless bathroom even more. I think you're onto something! Thanks for the suggestion. And thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
I have a 2016 Ford Escape, none of these trailers can be towed by my SUV.😢
Sorry, the tow capacity of a Ford Escape is a bit low at 2,000lbs (I believe). Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
Thank you. This trailer also requires a weight distribution hitch that is a pain to install and not good for off grid if you need to back up. This is not plug and go.
Nice trailers, but still about 1,000 lbs heavier that they could be. I wish US manufacturers would make a truly light weight travel trailer.
My guess is they would have to use materials besides wood (which is cheaper) so cost might be a bit higher, but I love finding lightweight campers. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
I bought a Rove Lite 14bh in March. All Rove Lites are 17-19” long, 8 feet wide and have a GVW of 2,500-3,500lbs. The one draw back is low cargo capacity. I tow with a 2016 Jeep Cherokee at the moment and it tows really well. MSRP’s around $30K because of an all aluminum constructions and built in smart anti sway and stability control however most dealers are selling for $19-24K before tax, title, and license. I would recommend a Rove Lite to anyone, it’s a really good small hyper lightweight camper.
So glad you are enjoying your Rove Lit!. We actually toured the 14FL in this video czcams.com/video/O_MYNtsQV5o/video.html (which was the video we encouraged others to watch at the end of the current video). Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!
My Honda Suv can't tow any more than 2000.
Uh...yeah...we weren't really considering CRVs or Toyota RAV 4s as SUVs that could tow any size camper. I revised our article about campers that weigh less than 2,000 lbs if you are interested. It's called 8 Best Small Campers Under 2,000 lbs. with Bathrooms for 2024
Here's the link: rvblogger.com/blog/best-small-campers-under-2000-lbs-with-bathrooms/
Maybe one of these would work for you!
Thanks for watching!

@@RVBlogger Thanks for the link. Our CRV has a 1,500 lb. capacity. Very sad face...
Can I get a t shirt?

Isn't the tow capacity of a Toyota 4 Runner 5,000lbs? If so then yes you can. But we always say - know the tow capacity of your own vehicle before buying any RV. Thank you for watching our RV tour video and commenting. We appreciate your support!

@@gonoles1234ify that's disappointing.
RVs are for rich ppl!! Too expensive for me for sure! No longer Family oriented but too tech & “mines bigger & decked out more than yours!”
Hi Cathy,
Seems like RVing has gone mainstream and the big corporations are in the game now which means they will raise prices on everything RV related and squeeze every dime they can out of the consumers with disposable income. It sounds like you have a nice rig that is big and decked out!
Thanks for watching!

I could tow the last one, with NOTHING in it!! not really helpful. And way overpriced.
There is over 1,000 lbs of CCC in the last one but it's a really it's pretty small.
Thanks for watching!
